Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide by chlorination of acetoacetic acid monomethylamide in an aqueous medium.
  • ⁇ -Chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide is a valuable intermediate for producing insecticidal active substances. It produces for example, on reaction with trimethyl-phosphite, O,O-dimethyl-O-(1-methyl-2-methylcarbamoylvinyl) phosphate, which has become known, under the name of monocrotophos, as an active ingredient in insecticidal compositions.
  • the product obtained is 95.5-97.4% pure and contains 2.0-2.5% by weight of unreacted starting material and 0.6-1.5% by weight of ⁇ , ⁇ -dichlorinated product. While this process is satisfactory with respect to yield and purity of the product it is complicated and uneconomical in view of the large amount of organic solvent used in the extraction and its removal from the extract by distillation.
  • a method of producing ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide by reaction of chlorine with acetoacetic acid monomethylamide in an aqueous medium, at temperatures of -20°to +10° C., in the presence of urea and alkali metal salts, neutralisation of the reaction mixture, separation of solid ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide, and feeding back of the mother liquor into the chlorination reaction, the procedure being such that the mother liquor obtained each time after the separation of ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide is extracted, before being recycled, with 2-10% by weight of an inert solvent immiscible with water, relative to the total amount of mother liquor.
  • Suitable solvents for the extraction of the mother liquor are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, benzene toluene and xylene; also halogenated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, chlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene.
  • Particularly favourable solvents are 1,2-dichloroethane and toluene.
  • the extraction can be carried out either batchwise, in a single stage or in several steps, in a vessel with stirrers, or continuously in extraction columns having 1-10 preferably 3-5, theoretical separation stages. In the case of the continuous procedure, it is possible to separate according to both the co-current and the counter-current principle. On a account of the corrosive properties of the mother liquor, it is advantageous to use apparatus made from glass, enamel or high-alloy steels, for example Hastelloy C.
  • For the single-stage extraction in a vessel with stirrer there is preferably used 4-6% by weight of solvent, and for the multistage extraction preferably 3-5% by weight, relative to the total amount of mother liquor to be extracted. Extraction can be performed in the temperature range of -20° to 50° C., and takes 15 minutes to 2 hours. The extraction is preferably carried out at 0°-20° C.
  • the solvent used for extraction can be recovered from the extract by distillation and can be re-used.
  • the distillation residue contains, besides ⁇ , ⁇ -dichloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide and acetoacetic acid monomethylamide, also ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide. These substances can be recovered from the distillation residue by fractional crystallisation from toluene or 1,2-dichloroethane.
  • the ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide contained in the distillation residue is obtained in this manner to the extent of 50-70%.
  • the extraction of the mother liquor in the manner according to the invention enables, in contrast to the known process, the recyclisation of the whole of the mother liquor.
  • the losses occurring in the production of ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide can thus be reduced to a minimum.
  • the ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide is obtained with a higher level of purity and in better yield compared with the corresponding results obtainable with the known process.
  • the composition of the extracted mother liquor remains unchanged and a practically infinite number of recyclisation can be carried out with the total amount of extracted mother liquor. Due to the lower contents of impurities of the extracted mother liquor as compared with the unextracted mother liquor of the old process the yield of ⁇ -chloroacetoacetic acid monomethylamide obtained in each batch is increased to about 75% of theory calculated on the amount of freshly added acetoacetic acid monomethylamide while, at the same time, the purity of the product is increased to about 91%.
